Cleft Lip and Cleft Palates: This session will cover the distinctions between cleft lip and cleft palates, including sociodemographic factors and risk considerations. We will explore the genetic and hereditary aspects underlying these malformations.

Velopalatal Insufficiency: Addressing this concern from the perspective of a maxillofacial and pediatric surgeon, this session will delve into the challenges posed by velopalatal insufficiency.

Craniosynostosis and Craniofacial Abnormalities: Providing a concise overview of craniosynostosis, this session will explore its connection to various syndromes and systematic pathologies.
